Well, I'm currently on assignment! I am the primary caregiver for my 93 year old mother-in-law. At the end of May my wife will arrive, take over and I will return to Fort Bragg. California. Yes, we are ships passing in the night but hey! We're doing a good thing!

To give you an idea of where Shoreline is in relation to Seattle, here's a map. I've also indicated Highway 99, what is now called Aurora Avenue I took photos of yesterday.

I am unable to wheel my 93 year old mother-in-law around to her back yard because her wheelchair has those narrow hard rubber tires. Yesterday I asked her if she would like to ride in the back of her riding mower's utility trailer.

"Sure!"

Loaded up and putting on a sun hat.

Ready to roll!

Perfect! A view of her house she has not been able to see for several years.

Perfect for visiting a "big box" store. I needed some work gloves and a night light bulb. Of course Home Depot had 'em. This Home Depot is a two mile round trip walk from grannie's house.

One of my readers sent in a comment telling me the flower I was wondering about yesterday is a Star Magnolia. I Wikipedia-ed it and it is quite a plant! Granny and I revisited it yesterday afternoon so I could take some better photos.

The information said they grow to around 20 feet tall. I'd say this one is well on its way!
